Mark Wahlberg makes an ace with Rory McIlroy's ball? Watch this week's Season Pass

Mark Wahlberg came within an inch or two of a hole in one at Pebble Beach

This week's edition of Season Pass features a couple of notable holes in one, including Hollywood actor Mark Wahlberg making an ace with a ball given to him by none other than Rory McIlroy!

Wahlberg gave notice of his friendship with McIlroy in Ireland late last year when he revealed his delight at being given a new driver by the world No 3, who remembered to make it left-handed.

The movie star also came within inches of a hole in one on live television during last month's AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, but he did achieve the feat with a perfect 161-yard nine-iron at Pelican Hill Golf Club in California.

Wahlberg posted a picture of himself on his Twitter account as he proudly displayed the ace ball, which had the distinctive "RORS" printed on the cover. And an impressed McIlroy replied: "Nice!! 1 more hole in one than I've made with those golf balls this year! I'll have to catch up!"

Another hole in one revealed on social media last week was made by Ryder Cup stalwart Lee Westwood, who aced the sixth at the Renaissance club and proudly announced it was the 15th of his career.
